I have a boo boo that I am trying to fix. A past host took products that I ordered and now wants to reimburse me. I said I would order them under my open show for her (show was MIL and I am taking shipment). I was going to order them under the host (MIL) order, so she can get the discount. I wanted to know, when inputting payment info for host order, can I use 2 different Credit cards. The past host said to just charge her for the items she is replacing, but I'm not sure if the system will let me do this. Should I just have her mail me a check? Hope all of this makes sense. Thanks for your help!
 
Nope PP will not let you do this. You can split it between a credit card and other methods of payment but not on 2 credit cards. Someone else may have a creative suggestion.
 
Maybe use her CC on someone else's order? For example, Suzy bought $60 and paid cash or check. Joan (the one who wants to reimburse you for the products) only needs to spend $50. Put the $50 from Joan's CC on Suzy'a order so it will get charged. Make sense?
